Thanksgiving Piping

[Beowoulf]

I spent my Thanksgiving in Montreal, so there was no Thanksgiving for me! (They celebrate their Thanksgiving the first Monday of October! Go figure! LOL)

Anyway, I have a question or two for you who were so fortunate to have celebrated it in the States yesterday with friends and family.

Did you smoke in the house? If so, what was the reaction of your guests or hosts? Also, WHAT did you smoke? Certainly you didn't risk a Latakia blend? Maybe Hartwell's Evening Stroll or some such?

Did you smoke in the house?

Always

If so, what was the reaction of your guests or hosts?

They know I smoke. Most of them are smokers as well.

Also, WHAT did you smoke?

Rich Dark Honeydew and Blue Mountain yesterday, Yenidje Highlander so far today.

Certainly you didn't risk a latakia blend?

Why not?



BTW, How does one pipe?

BTW, How does one pipe?

From what I can tell, piping involves using bagpipes. Also, I think a Bosun's mate does some piping. Guess it doesn't really apply to pipe smokers.

So what did you smoke?

Had an unseasonably warm day so joined a few guests at the dinner gathering outside to smoke. C&D Autumn Evening

At my daughter's house for Thanksgiving so no smoking in the house. I had to smoke in her garage with the other smokers and decided on smoking some Scotty's Butternut Burley in a new Kaywoodie Berkshire Canadian. I sure got alot of compliments on the aroma. Some said they were going back in the house to get some dessert after they smelled the aroma.

I smoked outside in the cold. Smoked some bobs chocolate flake. Had some Grand Marnier with it to keep me warm.

My wife is not against smoking my pipe, just not in the main section of the house. The sun room is fine (It is basically an enclosed side porch with a window fan that sucks the smoke out the window). I still don't smoke anything with much Latakia because it will still linger in the room. I enjoyed some Prince Albert, Holiday Mixture and a whatever is left mixture. I had a good cup of coffee to make for a complete Thanksgiving.

Most bands will probably play Christmas tunes around this time. What with all the Christmas parades and all. I hated playing Christmas tunes on my pipes. I think that was the reason why I quit the first band. 8 seasons of playing bagpipes up and down the streets of most near by cities around here, I finally said screw this. Only joined competition bands from there on, or I was in high level band within org to exempt out of parades.

We usually have our Thanksgiving get-together at the barn on a lake on our land. But, this year it was going to rain, so we had it at the ranch shop.
After the meal, I loaded my 9s Peterson with Rhythm and Blues, and my son and my brother lit up some really nice cigars.

Usually break out Christmas Cheer on Thanksgiving. Not this year as I’m down to my last 100 grams

This year I smoked some Ashton Guilty Pleasure in my Peterson Deluxe 2S on the way to the in-laws while driving.
